After Asman was kicked off the tower by Mozo, he finally found Mozo's twins and immediately launched a war impatiently.
As the only dual-god church at present, the Twins' offensive can be said to be fierce.
Even though they should have been weak in naval warfare, they actually suppressed the people of the sea who depended on the sea for their livelihood in the early stages of the war.
If the Gemini fleets had not lacked ocean-going supplies, the influence of the Sea People would have shrunk at an even more terrifying rate.
This result is just as shocking as when the Northern Business Alliance was beaten into a fool by the elves.
This war came as a surprise to everyone.
Then the outcome of the war was even more shocking.
It was fine that the nobles of the Merchant Alliance, who were obsessed with gold and fat, could not defeat the ancient elves. After all, if you really wanted to count, the Merchant Alliance was indeed not qualified to compete with the elves. Although the speed of the defeat was still shocking.
But it is hard to understand why the Sea People, who are also members of the True God Church and have always lived on water, were defeated so quickly.
Many gamblers even committed suicide by jumping into the sea on the day the war broke out.
Because they all placed their hopes on the powerful ocean-going fleet of the Sea People being able to severely damage the Twins' air fleet, which was supposed to be weak in naval combat.
The result was an almost one-sided defeat for the People of the Sea.
Now a large group of gamblers who had lost all their fortunes had no choice but to jump into the sea. However, when the gamblers were lining up to jump into the sea, nobles and generals from many forces were seriously analyzing why the people of the sea lost so quickly.
At the beginning, almost everyone, even the generals of the twins, thought that the people of the sea were mostly showing weakness, and wanted to gradually lure the enemy deeper by retreating on the battlefield, making them away from the land and supplies, so as to eat them all in one go!
But then, people just realized something was wrong.
Because this seems to be purely caused by the corruption and poison of the Ocean Church before.
Goddess Hevis fell into deep isolation due to the departure of the Storm King, and as a result, the group of clergy who lost supervision infiltrated corruption into almost every aspect of the Church of the Sea.
The current Ocean Church may be very wealthy because of the confiscated property of these corrupt officials. But the problem is that the previous legacy cannot be effectively corrected in a short period of time. Many people even doubt that the Great Purge was not really done.
Because the time is too short and there are too few people who can be trusted and entrusted.
At the same time, the most unexpected and seemingly reasonable things are:
The Ocean Church has a total of twenty-seven surface fleets, which are the assets accumulated by the Ocean Church over the years. Each fleet is a legend among legends, and both the ship configuration and crew configuration are almost the strongest in the world's navy.
Therefore, at the beginning of the war, in order to deal with these powerful and blessed surface fleets, the Gemini generals not only relied on the vast resources and foundation of their own church, but also mobilized airships far exceeding the enemy's in number.
Or they converted countless of the airships into suicide boats and planned to blend them into the vanguard fleet, using suicide attacks to weaken the enemy's manpower as much as possible.
Then according to the generals' staff officers, they all had no hope for this kind of suicide attack, and at that time no officer thought that such a method could bring them much advantage.
Their only hope was to rely on this to explore the fighting style of the people of the sea, and then rely on their own strong numbers to slowly exchange injuries for injuries.
That's why they didn't prepare enough supplies to support a fleet of this size. They couldn't enter the deep sea anyway, so why waste transportation capacity to prepare those? It would be better to get a few more warships and more soldiers and shells to fill the gap with lives.
Finally, the most surprising thing happened to everyone.
When the sky-blocking air fleet set out from the Kailo Strait, the three most famous fleets of the Ocean Church were responsible for fighting them - Dragon Slayer, Siren Horn, and Trident.
These three fleets are not only the three largest fleets in the hands of the Ocean Church, but also the best equipped and most outstanding fleets.
Almost every ship here has experienced the ancient dragon war and bathed in dragon blood. Even the keels of many warships here have long been replaced with real "keels"!
In that era when the ocean and the sky were competing for supremacy, these three fleets were monsters that made even the proud dragons feel cold in their hearts.
So when the Gemini soldiers saw who was coming, if it weren't for their duties and the fact that the supervision team was already in place, some of the crew would probably abandon the ship and flee on the spot.
Because even though they were uneducated soldiers, they knew they were fighting against the most legendary navy in the territory of Poseidon.
Mortals who are far away from the supernatural and war may not be able to understand how great this psychological pressure is, but those who have experienced it almost lost the courage to fight after just one look.
That is why so many gamblers are willing to spend all their money to bet on the People of the Sea to win.
Even when the war just started, everything was as everyone expected. The Sea People's fleet was far beyond the range of the Gemini Fleet and was madly pouring out its firepower.
The two sides had just started fighting, and the vanguard fleet was almost half destroyed before the enemy entered the firing range.
Most of those suicide ships blew up their own companions before they could even take effect.
In this regard, the Vanguard Fleet, which did not want to be killed by its own people, nor did it want to do nothing and wait for death, could only grit its teeth and rush forward, trying to close the distance and counterattack.
But the result was that when they moved forward, the opponents would retreat, and when they retreated, the opponents would move forward. They were faster and more flexible, so they could only be beaten!
The tactics of the Sea People are very clear. Although their ships are sailing on the sea, their range is longer than the opponent's air force, and their speed is also faster than the opponent.
So this is an invincible tactic for walking the dog.
This is completely unimaginable in Mozo's hometown, but in this unreasonable and extraordinary world, it is all so real.
It can be said that when the war reached this point, the first battle should have been a complete victory for the People of the Sea.
Even the twins themselves were prepared to admit this. A disadvantageous first battle was a huge blow to morale, but the war between the two true God churches could not be resolved by this one war.
But soon, a very magical scene gradually appeared - the barrage that was about to tear the vanguard fleet to pieces suddenly became thinner, and many shells even directly smashed into the vanguard fleet's airship.
Only a very small number of shells exploded normally.
This abnormality immediately attracted everyone's attention. But at this time, the twin vanguard fleet no longer had the energy to think about anything else, they just took the opportunity to escape in panic.
But as they fled, the twin generals in the large fleet at the rear noticed something was wrong.
Not only did the Ocean Church's fleet inexplicably go into a misfiring state, but it also bizarrely spontaneously combusted and exploded under their Eagle Eye Technique!
It is said that this scene made the Gemini who were watching the game at the time look at each other suspiciously, and the meaning was very clear - you did it
However, the answer is that no one did anything, at least no one on the Twin Church side was responsible for it.
And right after that, the twin fleets saw the hasty evacuation of the people of the sea. In response, the twin fleets, fearing a trick, did not dare to pursue, but only sent out a few speedboats to watch from a distance.
Then they received even more shocking news: many of the three fleets actually ran aground during their escape? !
To do this, they even had to slow down and use good boats to tow these anchored ships. Then more ships anchored...
It was not until this moment that the Gemini generals tentatively began their pursuit.
Before, their speed was indeed not as fast as those on the sea, but now they were caught up helplessly after the other party brought their anchored companions with them.
Afterwards, the Gemini fleet discovered that the three legendary fleets that had just displayed their might could not even launch a decent counterattack at this moment!
Except for a few attacks from the extraordinary people themselves, the rest were just jokes, such as gun barrels spewing black smoke.
As a result, the three legendary fleets were bombarded crazily from above without being able to launch a strong counterattack. If the ships themselves were not blessed, it would not take long for all of them to sink into the sea.
The large fleet in the rear also immediately followed under the excited command of the generals, trying to swallow up the three legendary fleets in one go.
Seeing this, the fleet of the Sea People was forced to abandon the anchored warships. After finding a way to pick up the crew, they used their own speed and sturdy hull to resist.
And that's it, they actually have several warships anchored again...
In the first battle, the three fleets of the Sea People were defeated in such a bizarre way. It was so bizarre that no one could believe it.
Strangely enough, not only did the Twin Fleets not dare to pursue the enemy even after their great victory, they only towed a few of the outermost warships of the Sea People back to land overnight.
During the subsequent inspection of the Gemini Fleet, the Gemini generals were shocked to find that the shells carried on these warships were all smuggled products filled with fake ammunition!
That is to say, at the beginning, the only artillery shells available to the three fleets were the ones on the outermost sides, which were probably used to deal with the random inspections!
The latter is not even a dud, it is not even a shell! At most, it is similar in appearance!
No wonder they stalled while fighting. No one would be able to handle this situation.
As for dropping anchor, after looking at the ammunition depot, the Gemini generals all thought that the group of geniuses had greedily seized the battleship's power source.
But then they discovered that was not the case. The power source of each battleship was either the dragon heart or the heart of another legendary monster.
Then these things are not passive, and they even have replaceable ones.
Come to think of it, we can think of ways to deal with the cannonballs, but treasures like the Dragon's Heart are limited in number and difficult to forge. It's really a bit outrageous that this thing has not been discovered yet.
So what is the problem
This problem once troubled every technician and general of the Gemini Church, and even caused them to stop all offensives and isolate the warships they brought back.
Because they don’t believe what they see is real, it is very likely a trap, a complete trap!
Besides, the war has already started. It’s okay that the people above don’t know the situation of their fleet, but don’t the crew and captain below know either
If they hadn't been instructed from above, how would they dare to drive this thing to seek death
But soon afterwards, a technician from the Gemini Church found the problem - he discovered that the layout of the rooms on the ship was seriously inconsistent with the original design he found under the corner of a table!
Then he found the reason - the extra and modified rooms interfered with the power output of the hull. It was fine at ordinary times, but it would easily stop once it was running at full speed...
As for why such a problem arises, the fact that each room is decorated with log beds and golden decorations, each more luxurious than the last, seems to be enough to explain the problem.
It is said that the top leaders of the Gemini Church have studied this result repeatedly for several days, but they still cannot be sure whether it is really so outrageous or the other party deliberately made it look that way to them.
If it's really that outrageous, then it's too ridiculous. If I did it on purpose for them to see, then it's not worth it!
Finally, under the oracle of the Undead King, the Gemini fleet began a tentative attack.
After that, the Gemini fleet discovered the rest of the Sea People fleet that came to fight. Although there was no problem with the shells, the fatal anchor still existed and often showed up.
They even saw similar problems in the city defense complexes on the outer islands—shells misfired, cannons malfunctioned, city defense magic went haywire… .
In short, all kinds of problems that seemed incredible to people appeared in the army of the Sea People.
Although there were some problems in the front, many of them can be solved in the back.
But this still could not change the trend of the Sea People's total defeat. After all, the fleet they relied on the most had a fatal problem that could not be changed in a short or even long time - anchoring!
It is precisely because of this that many people realized that this was not a strategy to lure the enemy, but was purely caused by the corruption left over from the Ocean Church!
So far, if the Gemini Church had not focused its energy on ocean warfare in advance and everyone was worried that this was some conspiracy of the other side.
People speculated that the Twin Church would probably reach the Sea City on the third day of the war. Then in a few days, a new, real war between gods would probably begin!
However, due to previous delays and problems in raising supplies, the army of the Sea Church was able to slowly stabilize the situation under the command of the Storm King.
Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a desperate effort, everyone also knew that this newly returned Storm King was really having a hard time.
448 The Fuhrer's Wrath (3k)
In the Cardinal Court of the Sea City, Mozo was sitting in a brightly lit room, and standing behind him was the former Scarlet Angel Ophelia.
However, although Ophelia was still wearing military uniform as she did in the past, what she held in her hands was not her sword, but detailed military maps.
Then in front of Mozo were various holy spirits and generals.
And most of them were either covered in dust or went into battle with injuries.
It can be seen that the pressure on the people of the sea is really great, and the weakness these days is really not pretended. Otherwise, they would not be so behaved in front of Mozo.
And there is no need to pretend to anyone here.
The people of the sea were truly oppressed.
This did not exceed Mozo's expectations, but it was almost beyond the endurance limit of the people of the sea.
Defeat, defeat, defeat, defeat. This is almost the only melody since the war began.
Everyone in the room was silent, and the only sound was the rustling sound of Mozo's pen working on the strategic map.
as well as:
"Where is the map of Orwell Haidong District 3?"
When Mozo called out the name of a certain area, Ophelia would immediately and accurately pull out the map that Mozo wanted from the pile of maps in her arms.
But this time, Ophelia took out the picture and handed it to Mozo. She took the picture with a dark look in her eyes and whispered to Mozo:
"Your Majesty, Orwell Sea has completely fallen, just now!"
These words made Mozo pause for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room became increasingly depressing.
After a moment, Mozo continued:
"Then give me the map of the northern part of the Barry Sea. At the same time, let the garrison in the Barry Sea accommodate as many of the remaining fleets withdrawn from the Orwell Sea as possible."
But the one who answered Mozo was Ophelia's even deeper voice:
"The northern part of the Barry Sea also fell, Your Majesty, along with the Orwell Sea."
This time, Mozo put down the pen in his hand, stood up and looked at Ophelia. Then he looked at the generals in front of him and said to the one in the front row:
"Bass, send your fleet to the southern part of the Bali Sea. I need you to withstand their attack and take in as many defeated troops and refugees as possible."
In response to Mozo's request, the general named Bass first subconsciously stood up straight, then quickly lowered his head so as not to meet Mozo's gaze and said:
"Your Majesty, I, I no longer have enough ships or even sailors."
